Questions about Insurance?

If you have dental insurance and are concerned about coverage do not hesitate to reach out to our friendly staff. Our team here at Gentle Dental will help you with any payment or insurance questions you may have and will work closely with you to help you get the most out of your dental plan.

About Payment

Gentle Dental aims to be as gentle on your wallet as our dentists are when providing treatment. Our professional staff will help you get the most from your dental insurance benefits and explain any deductibles and co-pays to you.

The Gentle Dental Smile Plan

The Gentle Dental Smile Plan is perfect if you don’t have dental insurance and offers significant savings. The plan has no waiting period, involves no paperwork, and covers all pre-existing conditions.

You can enroll as an individual, couple or family and receive significant discounts on preventative services including exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and x-rays, as well as a host of other dental services. All other services including specialty care such as extractions, root canals, and orthodontics are discounted 20% from our list prices.

The Smile Plan is effective immediately and there are no claim forms to fill out and no maximums. Seniors 62 and older receive additional discounts on enrollment fees and parents can keep children on their family plan until age 26.

Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for everyone to obtain quality dental care at an affordable price.

Dear Marinette Neneth Tierra, Thank you for taking the time to post your kind words about our staff. We are excited to share this with the team. At, Gentle Dental Portland, it means a lot to us to know you had a great experience and we look forward to seeing you on your next visit.

Recently I had to visit your location in Albany, Oregon. My dentist was DR Van De Graaff and I could not be more pleased with his services. He made sure I could feel NO pain before he began, and when the tooth came out I felt nothing. Because of another dentist during my younger years, I almost have a panic attack just walking into the office. Thanks to Dr.Van De Graaff for a perfect appointment. I don't care I have to drive for over half hour to get there I believe I have found my dentist for life.

Your welcome BUT I did state it was the Albany Oregon office I went to!

This place is awesome. They always take the time to make sure I am happy and comfortable with whatever I am in for. The assistants, hygienists, front desk staff and the dentists are all personable, caring and fun. They do a great job!

Dear Jordana, Thank you for taking the time to post your kind words. It means a lot to us to know you have been a loyal patient for the last 8 years. It puts a smile on our face to know that we have been able to provide exceptional care for you. We look forward to seeing you on your next visit.

Dr. Fuller is the best dentist EVER! And Dr. Grant is the best oral surgeon ever! And the entire staff treats you like you're their favorite patient. I sure am happy to have found them. I recommend them to everyone!

I love this place. It's across the corner from where I work, and I needed a place downtown that would work logistically without me having to take considerable time to travel. This is my second appt and I'm really happy with the service. Everyone is professional, knowledgable and friendly. They ask how your visit was and they give you itemized receipts if you want one. This is the first time I've been a patient at any Gentle Dentle and I'm really satisfied. This is the location in the Congress Bldg.
